“I am so grateful that I found Gabriel to watch my dog Leonora while I am at work/out of town. If you're looking for a responsible, knowledgeable and flexible dog sitter, look no further. I am a physician with an unpredictable schedule but Gabriel goes out of his way to meet our needs. I adopted my dog a few months ago. She was originally put up for adoption because she kept climbing over fences. Gabriel fixed his house/yard specifically for Leonora so that she could still play with other dogs without having to worry about her escaping. He also has a lot of experience working with dogs and I have found his recommendations very helpful. When I go to work I know that my dog is in the best of hands.”
“Grace and Claudio were so great with my pup! I asked them kind of last minute and they worked with my schedule and took great care of him. They were also super understanding that my dog needed to be separate from theirs and had no issues accommodating. Would def recommend!”
“Allyn took great care of my Millie while I went on a whale watching tour with my family. She took Millie for a fantastic walk too and sent the cutest photos. Would definitely recommend!”
“Molly and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my two fur babies! They were able to accommodate us last minute, and Molly even went out of her way to pick them up after their bath. She made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her home. I truly appreciated how kind, accommodating, and attentive they were. I highly recommend Molly and her husband for anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters! 🐾❤️”
“Thankful to have found Haylee for doggy day care on such short notice. We were visiting from LA with our dogs and decided last minute to check out the Aquarium and didn’t want leave the pups behind in the hotel all day. Haylee happily accommodated us with a few hours notice and invited us inside her very clean home and welcomed my pups. She checked in before taking them to the dog park which I appreciated to make sure we were okay with it. Upon pick up, my dogs appeared happy, healthy and well cared for. Getting back to the hotel, they settled in for dinner and bed and I was happy to know they enjoyed their day with Haylee and would definitely use her again for caring for my fur babies. Thank you for your care and kindness to my babies ♥️”
“I cannot begin to explain how much of a life saver Darlene was for me today!! I live in Galt and have been driving all the way to the Greenhaven/Pocket area in the mornings before work (in Elk Grove) for daycare. During our meet and greet I got to see her very well kept home and her two adorable little girls who did very well with my big excited puppy. She sent pictures of Drake romping around her yard and playing with another dog who is currently being boarded with her. She was honest with me letting me know any behaviors that she had to correct and I’m thankful that she is knowledgeable in dog behavior. I will be using her on a weekly basis... especially since my dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! He was exhausted but was giving her kisses when I tried to tell him we were going home. Drake is happy so I’m happy.”
“Julie & family were great! Teddy ? felt right at home immediately! Julie reviewed all of Teddy's info and responded accordingly! She checked in with me & uploaded pics which put me at ease! I will definitely be coming back!?”
About: Hi there! A little about me. I had two dogs. One was a 5 lbs Chihuahua and the other was a 25 lbs golden doodle who loved other animals. Besides taking attentive care of them, through the years, I have experience watching my friends and families dogs. I am very sensitive towards animals, extremely attentive and will take care of them as if they were my own. I am very outgoing, I warm up easily to people and animals and just look to bring the best that I can to every situation while providing the best care possible. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to meet your pets. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I can take your pet out for a walk often and am available to do overnight stays in clients homes. I will be very attentive in watching your pets whenever I have to do overnight stays in clients homes. I will follow feeding, bathroom, and walking schedules. I will make sure your home remains neat and tidy during my stay.
“Thank you so much! Really appreciate you being there for us, made our trip to Monterey and put us at ease. Bron really liked spending time with you, we couldnt have asked for more!”
“I highly recommend JD if you need doggy daycare in his area. JD Is compassionate and very knowledgeable in canine behavior . My dog was well cared for at her stay. I would use his services again if we’re in the area.”
About: What separates me from other pet sitters is experience and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, including seniors, high-energy dogs, and those who require extra structure, patience, or consistency. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, triggers, preferences, and training cues so care stays consistent with what they’re used to at home. I’m through about following care instructions, including feeding routines, medication, leash handling, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and body language and adjust care as needed to keep dogs comfortable and balanced. I also provide regular, thoughtful updates so owners always know how things are going. I provide care throughout the day to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Mornings typically include walks and potty breaks, breakfast, and any required medications. Midday care includes walks, enrichment, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on your pet’s needs. In the afternoon and early evening, I focus on additional walks or outdoor time, scheduled feedings, and appropriate activity or downtime. Evenings include a final potty break, dinner and medications if needed, and a relaxed wind-down period. I follow established schedules closely and provide regular updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I have a fenced in backyard for lots of running and play time & a climate controlled inside. Dogs are never left alone and always supervised.
“Best possible sitter I could have ever dreamed of! I was in town for a concert and Jayla took the absolute best care of my dog. Absolutely recommend having her watch your pet. They'll be cared for and happy. ☺️”
“Robby and his wife were excellent caretakers for my furbaby. They sent pictures of her having a fun time during the day and handled everything with ease. Your pup is in good hands with Robby!”
“Johemy was wonderful! She took the dogs for last-minute daycare so we could go kayaking and see sea otters. The dogs had a great time with her, and we really appreciated her flexibility!”
“Yessica treated Roxy so well, played with her and took her on multiple walks. Roxy seemed so happy and we loved the pictures and videos she sent us of Roxy. Thanks so much Yessica!”
About: I love animals. I am an environmental science student at CSUMB and I’ve worked with animals for many years! I had a pretty set client base in my hometown and I am hoping to get some more new clients here in Monterey! I am thoughtful, kind, and will take great care of your furry friend! I will always do everything in my power to ensure your animals feels safe, cared for, and happy when I am around:-) I am a student and most of my time is spent doing homework. On days where I have clients I do everything with the animal I am with! They are the main focus and I love taking dogs with me everywhere and sitting and playing with cats. Animals have always had a liking to me. I am very knowledgeable on all types of dogs and cats so I will always ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while I am around. I do not mind dogs in my car so I will always find the time to bring them to a dog park (if the dog is able to of course) and so they can have plenty of time outside to socialize and enjoy their time with me! Cats love to snuggle with me and I will always appreciate some relaxing cat time. Both my cats are harness trained and I bring them outside quite often as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Natividad is $31 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 336 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Natividad. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Natividad commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 336 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
